    Alex never lets us down and that's why I'm proud to say I stan for her

    People can hate her for whatever reasons but secretly they'll always enjoy her music, who couldn't ;)

    Same....I LOVE the whole album except Love You That Much.....usually there are 3/4 tracks that I don't like at all and 1/2 others that I'm not too keen on on an average album, but with this, there is actually only one track I don't like....the rest I LOVE.

    Heartbreak On Hold is an amazing opener as well....I think I've become addicted to this snippet...:o:D

    Alex's fanbase is so varied like all different people not like 1D or JLS where it's all pre pube girls which is what makes it cool!

    It really is. At the ANl tour I had OLD PEOPLE sat next to me. I was freaking out lol. It was far more varied than I thought.

    True, and I think that's why her fanbase hasn't disappeared...JLS are starting to lose fans to 1D and TW and their popularity is decreasing as a result...a few years back, Proud would have been #1 no problem, but it only reached #6 then crashed out...

    Alex has both casual and dedicated fans, who do support her. It's the same with Leona, and it's better to have that kind of fanbase rather than the same people who will eventually move on or grow out of you and move to the next thing.

    I had a mid aged lesbian couple behind me saying 'Alex was hot' - they were in the meet and greet to LMAO, I was dead!

    I'm the gay boy who shakes my weave to Alex's music... I had a few oldies next to me aswell.

    DEEEEATTTH. I was like one of 2 black folk there....I felt....weird :o:D:p If radio really hammered her like Jessie/Adele/Cheryl, she'd be huge. I just hope she goes global because she has it all.

    Looool....I remember seeing quite a few different ages of people on the tour....it's quite surprising....I think that's why people get shocked when she does well....because quite a few young people don't like her, especially on the internet, but there are a lot of her fans who don't use social networks so much, but love her and buy her music...

    No, but the old guy tried to jam to SWY...note the word tried :o It was simply a SMH moment. Lovely though. People said at the end 'I wanted it to continue...loved every bit of it'. She was a goddess and I was so proud. She's come so far from the girl of 'I'm not that good' to ANL tour. Made me smile. That is what XF should be about. Making dreams come true and bossing out the competition.

    I think Alex has a massive gay following because when I went to G-A-Y when I just in London in general people were like are you from London? I went no... they were like are you here for Alexandra Burke at thingy? I was like 'at G-A-Y?!?!?!'

    lmao, but ye! G-A-Y was packed for her.

    Anyone think maybe they'll do what they did with ANL on one of the singles and add a feature for the single version?
